A friend of mine who co-owns a modest-sized bike brand was explaining the madness of the component buying side of his business. Bike frame manufacturers bid up to 5 years in advance for groupsets from the big 3 component makers, they will be briefed on what the groupsets are likely to need by...

My favourite tool!

I picked up this very tatty frame a while back - from one of my favourite makers. Easton RAD tubing so should be fairly tough but not too heavy. It is designed for 26" wheels and v-brakes or hayes 22mm mount discs. I rode around on it for a while as a drop bar 26er just to see if the hayes to...

I was wondering what kind of threadlock to use to stop topics loosening.😁

There's a person in the town where i live who has converted a mk2 (i think) to electric. It's the oddest thing seeing it pull away noiselessly at speed.

I've been riding a 2003 rim-braked road bike recently - a lot of times in the wet. I pick and choose the modern technology i like which includes modern wheels set up tubeless and 1x11 drivechain with clutch mech and NW chainring, carbon bar and seatpost. I have disc brakes on lots of bikes but...

Now gone. Thank you for your interest.

Been absolute filth here. 😁

That is the nicest looking bike i have seen in ages. Beautiful - and i bet it's fast!

Put a few hundred miles on this thing in the last fortnight and i am very much enjoying it.

Oh wow, i didn't know about all the others!

What i really need is just the cable fin, but happy to buy a complete derailleur, though it can be as ratty as you like. Part highlighted in the pic. Thanks Rich

Lovely! I love a Witcomb. Ben Serotta learnt his trade at Witcomb. Barry repaired my old mtb frame. He was such a kind bloke. I used to love visiting that old mediaeval shop!

Posted to you for a tenner or free if collected from BN7. Deore 175mm 42/32/24 chainset (in good condition but missing the preload bolt), Deore front mech and good condition 68/73mm bsa bb. Years of life left in it. Pls reply here first and i will message you. Thanks Rich

We used to have a fleet of these as our shop rental bikes. They are great - surprisingly light and really nice riding. Too big for me otherwise i would probably buy it off you.

I always say to customers, especially the grumpy ones: Have a nice day, unless you've made other plans.

Bump for £60.

Too big for me, but i bet that builds into a superb bike.

I do like that Serotta. Pure bike.

That's very much my cup of tea. Got to be worth at least £400, probably more. My size too. 😬
